The story of the Prodigal Son is only found in Luke (15:11-32)—none of the other gospels give it a go. As a way of explaining the logic of this mission, Jesus tells two little parables right before he launches into the story of the prodigal son.
What are the parables in Matthew?
- Parable of the Sower.
- Parable of the Tares.
- Parable of Drawing in the Net.
- Parable of the Mustard Seed.
- Parable of the Leaven.
- Parable of the Hidden Treasure.
